Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons matcha powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Combine ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until incorporated. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries to evenly distribute without breaking them down too much.
  3. Chill the dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This helps prevent spreading during baking and enhances flavor melding.
  4. Preheat the oven and shape cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the sheet about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers appear just firm. Avoid overbaking for a soft, chewy texture.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your fresh strawberry matcha cookies with a cup of tea or milk!

Notes

  • Ensure the strawberries are finely chopped and well-drained to prevent excess moisture, which can affect cookie texture.
  • For a more intense matcha flavor, consider sifting the matcha powder to avoid clumps.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Substitute unsalted butter with a dairy-free alternative to make the recipe dairy-free.
